Exum to the Olympics

I want him attacking the basket and I want him doing everything we will be asking him to do for us. If he's gonna be scared of physicality(he didn't get injured because of physical play), he better not go at all and get his head straight for the season.




He can get hurt anywhere playing basketball. He can get hurt while training with the Jazz right now. He can get hurt in SL.

I would rather him get hurt with the jazz than not with the jazz.

Every time he drives a car, he could get injured.


These athletes are adults. You can't act like helicopter parents around them. It's so so very obvious that Exum needs game experience before this coming October, we can't afford to not be hot out the gates next season.

It's very true that an injury can happen at any time. All the more reason to try and ensure that if another big injury does happen. it happens on Jazz time while trying to further the cause of the Utah Jazz, not the Australian national team.

I call ******** on the "he needs all the playing time he can get" argument. He needs to keep his *** off the court of international play, continue to rehab the knee, and give his focus and dedication to the team that's actually paying him to play basketball.

If Exum is still rusty after SLC and Vegas summer leagues, as well as training camp, I'm more than fine letting him find his sea legs during the first quarter of an 82 game season. Not too happy the Jazz signed off on this.

If his knee needs more rehabbing they won't let him go. We are talking about - if he's healthy and cleared to play basketball..
 
I don't think Exum gets that much of his rust shaken off playing in a few international games.

DL needs to make the unpopular decision of telling him "NO". He's a Utah Jazz asset and doesn't need to be serving other interests at this point.
 
If Exum is injury prone, then let him get hurt again. Then maybe the Jazz will pull their thumbs out of their asses and start building a team that can actually make the playoffs.

Get Exum in games and get him ready to play. We need a PG.
 
If it wasn't repaired properly, or if he didn't heal, or change the way he moves so it won't happen again....well, it is better for the Jazz to find out this summer than to find out in December.
 
Hell I'm big time encouraged that this is even being discussed.......I talk like he's going to be good when healthy ,but it's even better when it starts to be reality.

Work even harder Dante ,because you seem to be doing everything right !!
 
I am excited to see him play. He does need the experience and playing time. I hope the team uses him well and puts him in at PG and lets him be the ball handler more often. That said I could not handle him getting hurt again. That would be a huge blow to that Jazz.
 
He needs to play. Rose sat out almost two years to baby his ACL and it didn't help him one damn bit. Promptly injured his OTHER knee with a meniscus tear upon returning.
